That could be the announcement heard by beer lovers at Huddersfield this weekend, when the Penistone Line Partnership holds its second beer festival.

Pubs along the Penistone Line, from Huddersfield to Sheffield, are taking part in the festival today, tomorrow and Sunday.

Trains will stop frequently, so passengers can hop on and off to sample speciality ales from each of the 20 pubs - including The Head of Steam and Station Tavern outside Huddersfield station.

Ale lovers will travel in ``ale and music trains" along the line, sampling seven special beers brewed for the festival - including the Penistone Line 10th Anniversary Ale from Fernandes Brewery in Wakefield.

Music will be by The Good Egg Band, from Huddersfield.

Passengers on these special trains can begin their journeys at Huddersfield at 7.17pm today. The train will call at all stations to Sheffield.

Alternatively, trains start at 6.27pm tomorrow from Huddersfield, calling at all stations to Meadowhall.

Brian Barnsley, one of the organisers, said: "We've got high hopes for our second beer festival. We were encouraged by the mature behaviour of the participants. We expect everyone to drink - and behave - responsibly and have a great time."

Participating pubs in this area are: The Station Tavern and Head of Steam, the Rat and Ratchet on Chapel Hill, The Star on Albert Street, The Albert in Victoria Lane, the Railway at Berry Brow, The Shoulder of Mutton at Lockwood, The Railway at Honley, The Rock Inn at Brockholes, The Clothiers at Stocksmoor, The Cask and Spindle at Shepley and The White Hart at Denby Dale.
